Mlada inženjerka odlučuje da sama ima dijete. Dječak se rađa s autizmom, a majka, koja ga ne želi smjestiti u specijalizovanu ustanovu, žrtvuje vlastiti život kako bi ga zadržala pored sebe.
Na osnovu priče Bigasa Lune, Salgot pripovijeda zatvorenu, klaustrofobičnu priču koja postaje metafora raširenog autizma u tehnički razvijenom i materijalističkom društvu. Salgot koristi svakodnevne predmete koji poprimaju simbolične i prijeteće osobine, kako bi što realističnije oblikovao psihologiju i situaciju likova.
A young engineer decides to have a child on her own. The boy is born autistic and the mother, unwilling to place him in a specialised institution, sacrifices her own life in order to keep him by her side. Based on a storyline by Bigas Luna, Salgot tells a closed, claustrophobic story that also becomes a metaphor for the widespread autism present in a technified and materialistic society. Salgot uses everyday objects, which take on symbolic and threatening qualities, to shape the psychology and situation of the characters in the most realistic way possible.
